ABOUT THE JOB:

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers

build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the

street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use

your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start

to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks,

manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners

across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses

and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs

in product development with engineers.

As a Technical Program Manager within Global Infrastructure and Energy (GIE),

you will partner with developers and internal cross-functional stakeholders to

oversee the full lifecycle of large-scale data center projects, specifically

focusing on planning, pre-construction, and agreement management. In this role,

you will align design engineering, procurement, and construction efforts to

optimize capital expenditure and ensure rigorous cost and schedule governance.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the

Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and

maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google

platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our

engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we

can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have

the best and fastest experience possible.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Lead the intake, planning, and pre-construction phases of large-scale data

centers, partnering with developers to deliver critical capacity aligned with

design intent and construction execution strategies.

* Drive cost and schedule governance across multi-billion dollar capital

expenditure (CapEx) portfolios. Oversee agreement management strategies and

transform funding models to ensure capital allocation aligns with verified

planning and construction milestones.

* Advocate the use of parametric cost modeling and analytics to optimize real

estate development and building design, using data to predict risks and

standardize elements for capital efficiency and speed.

* Act as the strategic linchpin between developers, design engineering,

procurement, and internal stakeholders, leading critical agreement

negotiations and pivoting contracting methodologies (e.g., GMP to lump sum)

to secure best-value procurement.
